Refers to the periods of time during which a planet's surface reflects different amounts of sunlight, revealing different portions of the planet's surface from the perspective of a given point in space.
Inferior planets
The two inferior planets, Mercury and Venus, which have orbits that are smaller than the Earth's, exhibit the full range of phases as does the Moon, when seen through a telescope. Their phases are "full" when they are at superior conjunction, on the far side of the Sun as seen from the Earth. (It is possible to see them at these times, since their orbits are not exactly in the plane of Earth's orbit, so they usually appear to pass slightly above or below the Sun in the sky. Seeing them from the Earth's surface is difficult, because of sunlight scattered in Earth's atmosphere, but observers in space can see them easily if direct sunlight is blocked from reaching the observer's eyes.) The planets' phases are "new" when they are at inferior conjunction, passing more or less between the Sun and the Earth. (Sometimes they appear to cross the solar disk, which is called a transit of the planet.) At intermediate points on their orbits, these planets exhibit the full range of crescent and gibbous phases.
In linguistics, the minimalist program (MP) is a major line of inquiry that has been developing inside generative grammar since the early 1990s, starting with a 1993 paper by Noam Chomsky.
Chomsky presents MP as a program, not as a theory, following Imre Lakatos's distinction. The MP seeks to be a mode of inquiry characterized by the flexibility of the multiple directions that its minimalism enables. Ultimately, the MP provides a conceptual framework used to guide the development of grammatical theory. For Chomsky, there are minimalist questions, but the answers can be framed in any theory. Of all these questions, the one that plays the most crucial role is this: why language has the properties it has. The MP lays out a very specific view of the basis of syntactic grammar that, when compared to other formalisms, is often taken to look very much like a theory.
Theoretical goals
Perfection
The MP appeals to the idea that the language ability in humans shows signs of being incorporated under an optimal design with exquisite organization, which seems to suggest that the inner workings conform to a very simple computational law or a particular mental organ. In other words, the MP works on the assumption that universal grammar constitutes a perfect design in the sense that it contains only what is necessary to meet our conceptual and physical (phonological) needs.
Phase/feɪz/ is a UK-based rock band formed in Larissa, Greece in 2003. They made a digital single ("Perdition") for Microsoft’s Playlist Seven program in Feb 2010, they released one album In Consequence in which Duncan Patterson, better known from his work with the British rock band Anathema, took part. According to Reverbnation's charts, Phase is ranked 1st nationwide in Greece. Phase climbed on #12 of Billboard's fastest rising acts powered by Next Big Sound in the week of June 14th 2012.
History
Formation (2003;2008)
Phase was formed in 2003 and played intermittently until 2008 when they began recording their album In Consequence and performed at concerts. Soon after they had a functional line up they recorded Perdition which was the very first track Phase ever recorded to be later a part of Microsoft's Playlist 7 campaign.
Response
Phase has been the subject of several alternative rock publications and has generally been well received by its critics. They have had interviews in various magazines and radiostations and have received praise for their shows.
In drumming, a trigger is an electronic transducer that can be attached to a drum, cymbal or other instrument to enable it to control an electronic drum unit or similar device.
Specialised triggers are produced for specific instruments. A snare drum trigger, for example, needs two channels, one each for the rim and head, while a tom-tom drum trigger needs only to register strokes to the drum head.
Drum triggers gained great attention in the beginning of the 1990s, being extensively used on bass drums in metal music.
The advantage of using drum triggers is that potential problems associated with using microphones can be overcome by triggering pre-recorded samples. It is commonly quoted that less effort is required from the drummer when using drum triggers. Although this may be true in some cases, it is not true in all cases and depends on the individual's set up. The drum module to which the trigger is connected can be adjusted to accommodate a range of volumes, thus preserving the dynamic range of the drummer's playing. Triggers have a greater use in live performances than in studio recordings, since some drummers dislike the processed triggered sound, labelled by some as artificial.
Trigger is a Canadian comedy-drama film, released in 2010. Directed by Bruce McDonald, the film stars Molly Parker and Tracy Wright as Kat and Vic, former rock stars reuniting their band Trigger for the first time since their retirement.
The film was originally planned in the late 1990s as a companion film to McDonald's Hard Core Logo, which would have starred Hugh Dillon and Callum Keith Rennie. However, the film was never made at that time, and remained dormant until McDonald and screenwriter Daniel MacIvor decided to rewrite their original screenplay to be about two women instead. Rennie does, however, appear in the film as his Hard Core Logo character Billy Tallent.

Scaling Selenium to infinity using AWS Lambda - Wes Couch & Kurt Waechter | SeleniumConf Chicago
One year ago, our UI test suite took hours to run. Last month, it took 22 minutes. Today, it takes 4 minutes.
By leveraging AWS Lambda and Selenium, we are able to reduce maintenance, improve reliability, and run an unlimited number of tests in parallel.
Creating and maintaining a behemoth Selenium grid poses cost, time, and reliability issues. By thinking smaller, not bigger, we were able to use Selenium in a way that reduces maintenance, improves reliability, all while providing a way to run an unlimited number of tests in parallel.
By packaging Chrome in a special way, we built a set of libraries which enables Selenium tests to run in the highly scalable AWS Lambda “serverless” offering. By creating a special test runner, we enabled an enterprise suite of UI tests to seamlessly execu...

Lambda Yag // laser therapy
lambda yag is a laser therapy equipment, which allows to work in depth on different types of pathologies. The wavelength used is 1064nm. This, combined with the emission power, allows a good diffusion and the right absorption by human tissue, by combining an analgesic effect, anti-inflammatory effect and of the tissue regeneration.
lambda yag allows to work in two modalities: continuous and pulsed. The continuous emission mode is suitable for pathologies where the injury is at depth. It is able to trigger cellular bio-stimulation processes, and the process of tissue regeneration, reducing movement recovery times.
The pulsed emission mode is suitable for pathologies with acute phase, in order to perform anti-inflammatory pathologies with low thermal effects.The pulsed emission mode is a...

Our tests used to execute with 8 tests in parallel, now we execute with 80 tests in parallel (as fast as the product can handle). This extreme speed has enabled BlackBoard engineers to move at a quick pace, all while executing the entire UI test suite on every single commit.
We want to share this industry-disrupting, open-source method to the Selenium Conference and put it on display to enable Selenium users everywhere to make use of this valuable tool.
